    I want to learn and would appreciate some help.

    I'm not familiar with any of these, so you will have to track down reviews to see how they fare in terms of temperature or noise. I suspect they will be a tad noisy unless you limit their power, as they can reach 70W - the i5 in my NUC11 for comparaison is only 25W.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.2 is now available for Wifi 7 devices

    I have yet to receive any other GPL beside for the GT-BE98U_PRO, and I have no ETA as to what that will happen.

    I want to learn and would appreciate some help.

    I know there's a compact HP PC that is often very popular for homelabs due to it being quite affordable, but I can't remember the actual model name. I don't remember if it had PCI-E slots to add a second NIC either. While Proxmox is more powerful than either of these, you don't have to use any...

    I want to learn and would appreciate some help.

    Basically, Proxmox VE is a free bare-metal virtualization software. Think VMWare, but that runs directly on hardware rather than within a full OS like Windows. Heree's how the web management interface looks like on my system: pve1 is the hostname of my NUC, you have the containers and VMs...

    I want to learn and would appreciate some help.

    That's a pretty weak CPU, typically used in NAS. It might be ok for routing, however if you want to have an actual homelab and run various VMs on it, you really should look at something containing at least an Intel i5, 8th gen or newer. You will also want 16 GB or 32 GB if you want to run...

    I want to learn and would appreciate some help.

    I remember reading a few complains about loud NUC11s with an i7, which is why I am even more surprised to see how quiet my i5 is. Maybe the i7 SKU had a much higher max TDP than the i5 out of the box? That would still take a significant TDP bump to make such a difference. I think I kept the...

    I want to learn and would appreciate some help.

    I've been revamping my homelab these past few months myself, spent a lot of work this past week on the multimedia/docker side of things. You could start experimenting with the hardware that you currently have, but if you want a long term solution, I would indeed recommend getting something less...

    ASUS RT-BE92U

    I don't have any new model to announce at this time.

    These types of Apple devices/services should be outlawed. No security fix is available at all

    We have reached a point where technology has outgrown human morality. With things like these, cars used to commit mass murders, or AIs being used for deep fake scamming, I have grown increasingly disillusionned at us as a species. We aren't growing at the same rate as technology, and this is...

    ASUS RT-BE92U

    Asus once asked NOT to have these beta firmware redistributed.
  11. RMerlin

    RT-BE88U can't install merlin

    Yes, if Asus can ever provide the damned GPLs I have been waiting on for months now... The block only requires the nvram bypass when first coming from stock to Asuswrt-Merlin. Subsequent Asuswrt-Merlin upgrade don't need the variable any longer.
  12. RMerlin

    RT-BE88U can't install merlin

    Firmware 102_37xxx has some major wireless-related changes, so downgrading is blocked to prevent issues caused by incompatible settings. Asuswrt-Merlin is not recognized as being newer, hence the block. That nvram allows to bypass the block, however you WILL have to do a factory default reset...

    ASUS RT-BE92U

    Asus started adding it with firmware 36xxx, it will be there in 37xxx.

    ASUS RT-BE92U

    There`s not really much of a distinction between "main" and "guest" networks with 3006.102.37xxx. You create as many networks as you want, each with the security settings and the bands that you want. That's why the section was renamed to simply "Networks" instead of "Guest Networks". That`s...

    GT BE98 or GT BE98 pro Firmware

    Run the following command over SSH before uploading the Gnuton firmware: nvram set DOWNGRADE_CHECK_PASS=1

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.8_4 is now available

    Everytime you manually stop or start a client then you are responsible for updating its enabled/disabled state in that variable.

    VPN Settings When Upgrading ASUSWRT to ASUSWRT-Merlin

    Most being the keyword, with VPN settings being the specific exception. The documentation does contain examples: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/VPN-Director

    VPN Settings When Upgrading ASUSWRT to ASUSWRT-Merlin

    Reconfigure everything. Asus OpenVPN code is different from Asuswrt-Merlin, they cannot be directly "converted".

    Asuswrt Merlin 3006.102.3 Alpha1 for GT-BE98 Pro

    No, this has nothing to do with timezone. It's related to networking, and is used by Broadcom to extend data structures of packets at the kernel level to append private information that they use, probably related to their NAT acceleration or other BCM networking features. EDIT: The odd thing...
